Eggplant Parmesan

We love to order Meatball Parm subs and Eggplant Parm subs when we are just too tired to cook. But there is nothing worse than an undercooked eggplant, so disappointing. This is a wonderful dish that is simple and delicious, especially when you have a lot of eggplants in your garden like me!

This is a very simple recipe with not a lot of steps. I used a jar Marinara, but homemade is always the best. I like Rao’s Marinara, it almost tastes like my homemade marinara. Hubs said this was the best eggplant Parmesan he has ever eaten. It’s great over angel hair pasta with a big tossed green salad.
